Another demonstration, if it were needed, of the contradictions of US society and law.

It is a country where the rapist of a 10 year old girl can sue his victim’s grandmother for sending a packet of prescription medication through the post, and get $10,000 plus costs.

Meanwhile anyone who looks old enough and has cash can buy a gun without any checks or licensing at all, and carry it concealed to the supermarket.

But of course we all know this.
